Before the U.A Attack[Tatsumaki Omake]
111Please respect copyright.PENANAA3ddy76VHb
Tatsumaki: “Annoying.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGy3vSmomCk
With a simple finger, the quirk beast that was wreaking havoc in the street was torn apart by a small tornado.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATzo5HxYjhQ
“Wow, that must be a new record. Not even property damage this time. Good job.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIc5BFeSuIj
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANW95xwOMlu
She turns to her… acquaintance and the one who runs her agency. His marketing efforts and efficient management are what allow the whole thing to work without her. And to think he used to be just a simple office worker.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPzCy141vEt
He was a pretty simple, if not a bit handsome, looking young man with black hair and a loose business suit.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfRCpiYNYPd
Tatsumaki: “Anyway, this was much easier than I expected. You said this was some dangerous beast. Couldn’t some other hero handle it?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn9KpjvWYOW
Arashi: “There were none nearby. I saw the beast. I gave you a call. You know how it is.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZIIAYAtnal
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, these heroes rely too much on us top 3. Especially me; just because I can fly doesn’t mean I have the time to solve every problem.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADm9VCucbWP
Arashi: “Hey, I’m just the messenger. But if you want a day off, then I can arrange something. I’m sure several sidekicks would be willing to pick up the slack.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtbLQsWQ35A
Tatsumaki: “You do that.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARpSdBCAKTU
And so it was done; thanks to Arashi, the next day was free. But there w a problem. She was getting bored. Yeah, it was fun to relax at home in her colorful pajamas at first. But it quickly lost its appeal.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ95f3xpy5z
Even if most things can’t challenge her, the few seconds of combat were still highlights of her typical workday. So to solve the problem, she called Arashi.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANiJt6HrdEH
Arashi: “Tatsumaki? Oh, you miss me already?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWJG1ZemeyR
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. Anyway, how’s the situation? Do you need me for something?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEPC8nnlXRc
Arashi: “No, the city is pretty quiet right now. The pro heroes and sidekicks have dealt with any problems that did pop up. So don’t worry; nothing will ruin your free day.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXhbB1AmR9i
Tatsumaki: “Hm… is that so?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3C2CEv2SeD
Arashi: “Sooooo, what are you wearing?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQG4x9kzNwu
She hung up and fought down the slight blush.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPGY4xFFOQQ
Tatsumaki: “He is so lucky he’s cu- I mean useful.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAASCyMIr5xt
She sighs and lies back on the floor. Her fight against boredom continues, and for once, she doesn’t think she’ll win.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUtF8CrU11x
Tatsumaki: “I could visit Arashi, but… that will get complicated fast. I’m not in the mood for that.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADBV1Qd1vAq
Tatsumaki: “Fubuki is busy with her agency, tch, like always. Izuku and Kiri are at school. I guess I can visit Mom.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKySWe3Gttc
She prepares to get dressed and meet her but instead stops. A smile grows on her face.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdXEjcN4QAU
Tatsumaki: “This might be a good excuse to test that out.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5LC8T6KtQw
Out of all the abilities her brother has learned, teleportation is the coolest. She doesn’t really need to learn anything more than what she has already. Battles are easy enough as it is. But teleportation could save time and just be plain fun.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxKVCYkKOwp
Besides, one of her favorite characters from an old manga she used to read as a kid could do it. Might as well try it; what’s the harm?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxBOzThDcL2
So she got up and placed two fingers on her forehead. First, she visualized the kitchen of her previous home. Then she willed her psychic power to turn her desire into reality.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0eJmH9F6mA
Either by bending space, breaking her down, and moving her elsewhere, or something else, whatever was easier.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4c9yEguZBQ
After a moment of actual effort, she felt something happen and smiled. In the next instant, she was in the kitchen.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbfHlZHGNSg
But something was wrong, as proven by her mother doing a spit take with her tea. Tatsumaki felt weirdly… exposed. Didn’t take her long to understand why, then panic and teleport back home.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtVqDidwtkt
She grabbed her pajamas that were left behind and tried to calm her tomato face. A face that got more red when her phone went off. Not running from it, she answered.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvh5alBNjgg
Tatsumaki: “…Yes.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASjMM81a8NQ
Inko: “Sweetie, did I see what I think I just saw?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8fO8zLcEoM
Tatsumaki: “… Would you believe me if I said no?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wrfl0Upo3
Inko didn’t say anything, but managed to say everything.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ0uRXOqlF
Tatsumaki: “Don’t tell Fubu or Izu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAW1d7mQsFKp
Inko: “Sweetie, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m glad you’re trying new ways to use your quirk. Just… make sure to bring your clothes with you next time.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABS3NRoNac6
Tatsumaki: “T-Thanks, mom, I’ll do that.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwpUSSKNi1k
She hung up and laid back on the ground after clothing herself. She sighed and accepted the fact she’d probably have to visit her guilty pleasure after all.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwCqbyXeqGf
Tatsumaki: “Teleportation is overrated anyway.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nps3aGyhd
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMdGzb1aeJN
After the U.A Attack
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuPT1PBEXKf
“So far we have three villains that were leading this attack.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbYGXkzoBJA
Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi explained to the gathered heroes in this meeting room. The ones present were Snipe, Vlad King, Midnight, Nezu, All Might, and of course Tatsumaki. Unlike everyone, else though, she was leaning against the wall near the window instead of sitting.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAk0YuV9vAvg
She was ready to get out and find these villains as quickly as possible.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPvcxgjqxmT
Naomasa: “First, Kurogiri, the villain that looked to be made of black mist. The only solid part was a large metal device around where his neck would be. He has a warping quirk.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcgLAHNZE2h
All Might: “A group of villains with someone like that can be very dangerous.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFMj2vgRmE0
Naomasa: “Second, Tomura Shigaraki. His quirk seems to be the ability to disintegrate anything he touches. As proven by Aizawa’s broken arm. I would assume he’s the leader, but the last-minute appearance of Azrael throws that into question.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoq2lxQ6FI8
Everyone, minus All Might and Tatsumaki, shivers at the memory of that man. That doesn’t mean All Might doesn’t feel anything when remembering him. But he doesn’t want to explain his connection to Azrael, not yet anyway. And everyone who sneaked a glance at him understood that.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPZHirGndYK
Midnight: “Can’t believe I’m saying this about a handsome man, but I hope I never meet him again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKRdgvihbDY
Naomasa: “What’s worse is that we have no info on him. Azrael is clearly an alias.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANActRhcdNO2d
Nezu: “The angel of death… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASwmD6bBq0i
Snipe: “You can say that again. Looking at him was like staring down the barrel of a rifle.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANzGUGQFhf9
Naomasa: “Based on that, I’d imagine the only ones that should face him are the top 3 pros.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARDf1WXxrgu
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I’ll take care of them all by myself. I just need a location.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgGuFz7iXrp
Naomasa: “Sad to say, with a warping quirk user on their side, they could be anywhere.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiVZM9tziQi
Snipe: “So, long story short, we got nothin to go on. We didn’t even do much damage to any of them. Well, aside from that strategist.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3TH0xsm30q
Midnight: “Oh yeah, what about him? What do we know?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiQbphWuiBM
Naomasa: “Apotheosis. Based on Ms. Fubuki’s statements and previous cases involving him, he definitely qualifies as a strategist. Apparently, he was even the cause of that train bomb incident a few days ago.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtwcWrM3f3W
Vlad: “That is a sick man; there were kids on that train! If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Tornado… the amount of damage he could have caused… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvzK3725EwT
Midnight: “What’s his quirk?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3AnuftnvBL
Naomasa: “Unknown, Ms. Fubuki insists he used only technology in their fight.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUlWQVxPiIS
Tatsumaki: “Then he shouldn’t be a problem when I find him. I can easily rip the gear off of him.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALmcGLrv0jg
Naomasa: “If you find him. And who knows how you’ll fare against his Psychic Disruptor.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbVKIB8Otsu
Snipe: “Something he made with you and your family in mind. I wonder why he seems so focused on you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAb4HMoYtF4Q
Tatsumaki: “Simple, he’s scared of me. Hmph, I don’t blame him. His little plan wouldn’t have worked if I was there.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsP7F816YJ8
Naomasa: “Which makes his plans all the more dangerous. He can work around powerful obstacles and come up with countermeasures.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHMWC5BHI6O
Vlad: “The longer he’s out there, the harder it will be to deal with him and this league of villains.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAywj7lQ8N4V
Nezu: “That’s not the most disturbing thing about him, is it, Tsukauchi?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn2EXYHpSdQ
Naomasa: “No… it’s his possible age. Based on everything we’ve gathered, he seems even younger than the students. By a year or two.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAs8ZWPEhuwv
The room grew quiet at that revelation. A villain that smart yet barely a teenager.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA05ExqE92wx
Nezu: “How sad, that someone so young turned to a life of villainy. Despite how terrifying Azrael may be, I am more concerned with this villain. Especially when you consider what name he chose.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGKSs2R7mWY
Midnight: “Why?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEpX3uWYqzR
Nezu: “Because it means the elevation of a person to divine status, essentially becoming a god.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAi74YqYlKui
Naomasa: “So this kid is incredibly arrogant and egotistical to give himself such a title.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAknoTnWL6Jn
All Might: “Most villains are. I once fought a guy who referred to himself as a destroyer of worlds. He wasn’t much of one when all it took was two good punches to knock him out.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hwi6yISmD
Nezu: “Perhaps, but I have a feeling that his genius can get him close enough to his goals to be a serious threat. I, more than anyone, know just how dangerous a sharp mind can be.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaktIv2OvEQ
Tatsumaki: “You worry too much.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnRRpLCj844
Nezu: “Perhaps.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApGgEnDXibE
All Might: “What about the last one, the one young Midoriya fought?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApG3RkKAZLh
Naomasa: “Well… as you all know… there wasn’t anything left of him. Ms. Fubuki and Midoriya made sure of it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxlVnkNV0PX
Vlad: “But what I want to know is how? Based on what Aizawa said, this creature had strength comparable to All Might’s.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAG2662tLkrV
All Might: “Yeah, and taking a punch from young Tae is no easy feat.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWoeN1KqwWR
Despite the dire situation, Tatsumaki let a smile slip. Pride filled her heart to know that her brother, and especially her sister, was able to beat such a monster. She knew Fubuki had more power within her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVkNFCiLLwS
But then the smile faded when she remembered what that victory almost cost them. Izuku had to use his fire again, and despite not showing it, she could sense Fubuki was past her limit. It’s a miracle she could still walk home.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1CIxQjfjh9
If even one variable was different… she would have lost them. So instead of lingering on that feeling of pride, she focused on her protective instinct. The one that will help find these villains and put this matter to rest.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC5wISgqdqy
Naomasa: “We don’t know how they did it. Midoriya is vague about it, and Ms. Fubuki came near the end, so she can’t tell us much. Todoroki is also a bit vague. Whatever happened is mostly a mystery.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOeEyLhv84P
Vlad: “Hmmm, I don’t like it. What are they hiding?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHHGaeDDOI1
Tatsumaki: “If they want to keep it vague, let them. You know the name, Nomu, and you know that it’s an artificial human and has multiple quirks. That’s enough.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Sj0bgCUb
Naomasa: “I agree, it’s worrying, but nothing we should concern ourselves over.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlOiE0vZX9J
Midnight: “But wasn’t one of the quirks observed regeneration? Based on Todoroki’s report, the Nomu had lost an arm and couldn’t regenerate it like everything else. Tornado, can your brother stop regeneration quirks?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS4bE9bLX9W
Tatsumaki: “Not that I know of, but why does it matter? It would only be a good thing if he can do something like that if another Nomu shows up.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7LnuFDfKNu
Midnight: “But aren’t you curious about what your brother is hiding and why?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAc64ZEuJoC8
Tatsumaki: “No, I trust my brother. Now, I would suggest you stop asking these questions, Midnight.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ppBBY7LN
The two ladies glared at each other for a moment before All Might coughs to snap them out of it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0qGolIeGRY
All Might: “We should get back on track.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8pBTjYhT2P
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, you do that. I got what I needed.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANe8cCGR9gd
Tatsumaki opened the window next to her and flew out in search of her prey.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwldATs3CX2
Midnight: “Ugh, tell me why we put up with her again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArvQlRYDBaD
Snipe: “Ha, you’re just jealous Tatsumaki and her sister beat you in the most attractive female heroes ranking.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmQw82Zv1Ba
Midnight: “N-No! But let it be known that she doesn’t deserve that high of a placement. Her sister I get though, her body is like a work of art, and she knows how to dress.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAueRwDEHDUu
All Might smiled at the banter but also looked at the window where Tatsumaki left. He can only hope she doesn’t work herself to death. She’s not the only one concerned about what happened. She doesn’t have to carry that burden alone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAx2vOROSeP9
All Might: ‘If only I was at my prime…’
111Please respect copyright.PENANA84ZAa0itQl
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbAzcdtgMdS
The school took a week off after the attack, and Inko is beyond worried. First, it was that talk with her daughter that didn’t end very well. Next, it was the strange behavior of Kiri and Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABnyxT4UOZA
She understands that they would be shaken by the attack, but there’s something else wrong.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7RVdgFmC0v
Kiri doesn’t sleep in Izuku’s room anymore. When she first did that, Inko was a bit concerned but quickly brushed it off. Kiri just wanted to stick close to her big brother. Nothing wrong with that.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATTecEh5Iux
No, what’s wrong is when she suddenly stops and looks colder than usual. But that doesn’t compare to Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPYQyBmhSpO
He doesn’t smile anymore and barely talks. His eyes are always far off and his mind elsewhere. Even when Kiri tries to interact with him, he doesn’t respond.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAup3gRlbY5J
Tatsumaki won’t pick up her calls, and Fubuki is always busy. Enough is enough.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr95H526ahm
It’s time for a family get-together.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhiMCyp6uJc
While eating at the table in uncomfortable silence, Inko makes her move.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAc3EajlcXHh
Inko: “Kiri, Izuku, I think it’s time for us to have a family get-together. It’s been too long since we all just… had fun. Well, it will be Kiri’s first time, which is even more reason to do it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFdJGfhcCMu
Izuku: “… I don’t know. I’m not in the mood.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARwW9yRjkHS
Kiri: “…Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADN6umQ0Tiz
Inko: “Come on, it might help you two get past whatever you’re going through. At least it could take your mind off of it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZYl7Wwa2C
Izuku: “… I don’t think that’s possible.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcQsoKEGxW6
Inko: “Sweetie, please. I’m worried, and I… want to help. Just a few hours with your sisters.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ9Z14PGIJ
Izuku looks at Kiri, who looks back. She smiles, trying to bring some warmth back into his life.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAikX7cgFFKq
Kiri: “I would… like it. Can we?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMiWCRfT06U
Inko: “See? Kiri is willing to try it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMeOq0F3g2g
Izuku: “…Okay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxOrxnr6A9o
Inko: “Great! Now I just have to get Fubuki and Tatsumaki.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvBW7JQBUAd
Inko grabs her phone and dials Fubuki first. Hopefully, she has the time.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4ORjN7feos
Fubuki: “Yes, Mom?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcpCoN5StMf
Inko: “We’re getting the family together for a nice relaxing day, just to have fun. What do you say?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6tFHMki4rc
Fubuki: “I would love to, but-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0vX74yMF6m
Inko: “Fubuki, please. I feel like… I’m losing you all. Izuku barely talks, and even Kiri can’t get to him.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA71VzV6Rfli
Fubuki: “He what? What’s wrong with Izuku?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhYuSEVKTJS
Inko: “I don’t know, but it’s part of the reason why I’m doing this. I thought having some family fun could help. The other reason is… I miss you all.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlSL3r8aEHw
Fubuki: “I… miss you too, Mom. Things have been hectic after the attack, and I have been meaning to take a break from training. Alright, I’ll come.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOLoJmk6aLW
Inko: “Yes!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAH8XJODFxBr
Fubuki: “But how will you get Tatsu to come? She’s been… distant recently.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAv3k13LQjsC
Inko: “It might be underhanded, but it’s for her own good.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAF86SDNPIg9
30 minutes later
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2Eod0z7Dd2
Tatsumaki bursts through the front door, ready to tear apart whoever dared to attack her home.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1f69BubmpP
Tatsumaki: “Izuku! Mom! Where-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbbktpjsaZ9
Instead of a crisis, she sees a normal living room with her whole family present.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAh4174SwMB7
Tatsumaki: “… What the fu-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVWaayKnQak
Inko: “I’m sorry, sweetie, you wouldn’t pick up the phone when either I or Fubuki called you. So I had Izuku call you and simply say he needed help desperately.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZFfhh9aKw1
Tatsumaki closed her eyes and pinched her nose. Her heart was about to break out of her chest, and it was for nothing!?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKVqiJNSy11
Tatsumaki: “…Why… why would you do that to me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkKnpb8IwbQ
Inko walked to Tatsumaki and hugged her softly.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAj1OG7qqEDK
Inko: “Because I’m worried, and we left off on a terrible note. I don’t want to lose you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA69xGwkAnV2
Tatsumaki: “Mom, you won’t lose me. But nearly giving me a heart attack just to say that, really?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlyzSq5gs5B
Inko: “Not just because of that, I wanted us to go out together. The whole family, to take a break from the troubles of the world.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQamsm9AsMv
Tatsumaki: “… Villains don’t take breaks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjHk74R73Yl
Inko: “But heroes should. If they don’t, they might lose to those villains.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxAKzoMQnpC
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I could be on my deathbed and still beat them.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6nVunxIFz2
Inko: “Maybe, but I want my baby at 100%. That way she can better defend those precious to her, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABctsUrsQij
The eldest daughter took a moment to think about it, glancing at her siblings before sighing in resignation.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIBHHPCuZmD
Tatsumaki: “…Just a few hours and that’s it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjmYh4YHEhb
Inko: “Yes!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFkCOxMdiPe
The first part is over; now she needs to find something for everyone to do.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlyFyWsypYd
She leads Tatsumaki further into the home, completing the family gathering. But that’s when Fubuki noticed something off about Tatsumaki’s eyes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYgLIYheViT
Fubuki: “Sister… are you wearing… eyeliner?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXpP5Cs2sR8
Tatsumaki: “W-What? No!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ02Q0PLpB
Inko: “Ohhh, has my baby finally decided to take her makeup seriously? Let me guess, it’s a boy, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKirOQTFTbJ
Tatsumaki: “No! We’re not like that!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAa54DbgQZhG
Silence.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPk24WBbspj
Stunned silence and widened eyes are what you would see in this household. Even Izuku was taken aback.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATow4XZuTmT
We?
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8HF06SMgeZ
We imply two people.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAy93ZLSvjdz
Two people in this context mean a couple.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABGw0WJhNqK
Tatsumaki being straight means it’s a guy. A he?
111Please respect copyright.PENANArC8o6wDJOQ
He?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM8vNc02L4H
HE!?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvjEmHcBbLD
Inko’s smile brightens like the sun while Fubuki leans her head against a wall.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABPxaHz8d36
Tatsumaki: “Mom, wait-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVjPop3kCnJ
Inko: “My baby girl has finally become a woman!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPeTV5McLGk
Tears stream down the mother’s face. She never said anything, but she was worried her daughter would never find a guy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdmmkIRezv6
Izuku: “No way.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7v312Bp7pc
Fubuki: “I can’t believe it, big sis got a boyfriend before me. How could this happen?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS5ELbSkfYX
Kiri: “New nephew or niece?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGt6wllBSTS
Tatsumaki’s face was beyond red at this point. She covered her face in shame.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5cMTBDJnU
Tatsumaki: “Come on, stoooop. We’re just… coworkers.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALokU9wbRDf
Inko: “Does this ‘coworker’ have a name?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWv3zPDrQ0P
Tatsumaki: “…I’m not telling.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZHCc0sQS9D
Inko: “Ohhhh, you can be so cute sometimes, Tatsu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxxd33FkSPe
Izuku: “So is it true? You really have a boyfriend?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsLu1jlo4Mz
Tatsumaki: “No! The only reason I’m wearing makeup is to… cover up the bags.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAs38ZFPfzfO
The once joyful atmosphere sobered as the family looked at Tatsumaki.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGeIQgRH4Kf
Fubuki: “Sister, how long has it been since you’ve slept?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIo476mHUtt
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I sleep enough.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATi5z6mhYAU
Inko: “No, no, no. This is why this family outing is so important; you all need to take a break. You and Izuku need it the most.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoavdQQp6px
Tatsumaki: “Izu, Y-You can’t sleep?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADNNfURg8bb
Izuku: “It’s been… a bit difficult.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxSSpIw3FVV
Kiri couldn’t help but blame herself a bit. Maybe it’s not her; it could be something else. But maybe the reason why he’s having trouble is because he misses her warmth. They got pretty used to each other at this point, despite the initial struggles.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAT1ScAm7D4W
Even Kiri is having trouble sleeping without her snuggle buddy. But she… just can’t be around him while he sleeps anymore. It feels… uncomfortable.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAViw7pR0hxr
Tatsumaki: “Okay, let’s do this then. If you really think it will help.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACRZAl8aAvT
Inko: “Great!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARiHE7wEfnh
Izuku: “But what are we doing?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATtcW0Pb0aS
Inko: “Haha, would you believe me if I said I didn’t plan that far ahead.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzwe1GKkgdX
Fubuki: “Mom…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANLpos32gKN
Inko: “Oops. But don’t worry! By the time you all dress yourselves in something casual, I will have come up with something.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIbgXdIDV8x
And so they did. There were still casuals Tatsumaki and Fubuki could wear within the house that suited them. After a few moments, everyone was ready.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAK2keGzNtmA
Izuku had simple gray pants and a white shirt with an open blue hoodie over it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJEd09fAESd
Kiri wore a long-sleeve yellow shirt that was a size too big but emphasized her cuteness.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAB8p4wO7uAq
Fubuki had a red dress shirt and a long gray skirt. Together with sunglasses, it made her look truly stylish.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANR5Mx3vtUJ
Tatsumaki wore a black shirt with a biker jacket over it and a dark frilly skirt.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6sSqQZpwPP
Inko was already in her casual outfit, a pink shirt with blue jeans. Thanks to Fubuki preventing her from eating herself into a small round figure, she still looked beautiful.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAekrOaOxf0F
Inko: “You all look great. Okay, my plan is that we go to the amusement park.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAE9p2xoalGk
Fubuki: “Sounds good, we can take my car.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAwGGGVikBc
Tatsumaki: “Why drive when we can fly?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuFflXSR2uD
Fubuki: “Because not all of us can fly, and it’s pretty far.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoUit0PMlhA
Tatsumaki: “You carry Mom, I carry Kiri. Think of it like training.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFj0FqCJsSv
Fubuki: “Training? They’re not that heavy.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1ryzWxBtLm
Inko: “I wouldn’t mind Fubuki; it would be fun to fly through the sky again. I still remember the first time you took me out for a flight.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAriAMaSrjTg
Fubuki: “We also got in trouble for using our quirk.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQFbGOF5Cxb
Tatsumaki: “We’re heroes now; they won’t say anything. Now come on.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ2lV10D4E
Fubuki sighs and nods her head. Tatsumaki floats the giggling Kiri while Fubuki helps her smiling mother up. The group flies out after opening the door. But it didn’t take long to notice someone wasn’t following them.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAXHeT2VPET
Fubuki: “Izu?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADeUiSI99RA
Tatsumaki: “What’s wrong?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfU0KvGf8bn
Izuku was outside looking up at them, seemingly hesitating to use his quirk. Not wanting to worry them though, he shakes his head.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt1XjmGbRzW
Izuku: “N-Nothing.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV3V0LzGY8c
He slowly lifts himself and joins them in the sky.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALt4FosKytn
Tatsumaki: “Great, now try to keep up.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVtRuhFZuzG
Fubuki: “No, we’re not blasting off.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdi6Z08Hddj
Inko: “I would prefer a more leisurely flight. I love looking at the world below pass by.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeG3wO7WXrg
Izuku: “Agreed.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVSNqn3BtNi
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2nHF4fKZJ8
Tatsumaki: “Darn, outvoted. Fine, we can go grandma speed.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAo7WY2CWiJO
Inko: “Hey, your grandma used to be known as the turbo granny. She had no speed quirk, but you wouldn’t know that by how she ran… away from problems, that is.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd8KScXzvtj
The family either laughed or smiled at the comment. After that, it didn’t take long for them to touch down at the nearest amusement park.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAw0RGFsyUZd
Kiri: “Colorful.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhPLBqbnRgr
Inko: “Yep, I’m glad it’s giving you a good first impression, Kiri. So gang, what’s first?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vdn1Pxo4C
“Bumper Cars!” “Roller Coaster.” “Food!” “Ferris Wheel!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYTGZKuJQrB
It seemed like everyone had different desires.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3lcEGiU02
Tatsumaki: “A Ferris wheel? Fubuki, come on! That’s boring.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArF8KtKxPkL
Fubuki: “Aren’t we too old for bumper cars?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5vpQUDus3I
Tatsumaki: “Scared of losing? I understand.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAElpwn9XYJh
Fubuki: “Ha, from what I remember, I always beat you at those.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHYzCft2YLJ
Yeah, those were the days. One of the few things she could beat her sister at. Besides that and academics, Fubuki didn’t win much. It wasn’t nearly as important as beating her in psychic power, but she still held those small wins in high regard.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0k5vjKTrqD
Tatsumaki: “Things will be different this time.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUFj6nQCxI3
Inko: “Okay, you all want to do something different. How about we play for it? Jan-ken-pon!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Kr8SXmRg
Tatsumaki: “And you said I was the one being too much of a kid.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABI2jkqN1Z6
Izuku: “Does sound fair, though.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKU7zVv43Yj
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bxr9VCFL6
Fubuki: “Let’s do it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACtI4xnUpmR
Inko: “Great! Now get ready.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYqa84ZH7hn
Everyone got into battling position.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjyl6Bw0DSr
Inko: “Jan!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqxRZqyZYpZ
Izuku: “Ken.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeDNmj8nTXf
Tatsumaki: “Pon!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vxeop5csO
The result? Fubuki won.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvkwjHWxcqn
Tatsumaki: “Darn it!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAffGkHUjbQS
Fubuki: “Ferris wheel it is.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAX4hNzzlm3m
Inko: “We play again to decide in what order we’ll go in.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbuzOFqY908
The group played again, and at the end, the schedule looked like this.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFO9PsQKKbT
Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Food, Shooting Range(Inko’s choice), and Roller Coaster.
111Please respect copyright.PENANACnzQyXsfsl
Plan set, the family entered the amusement park and had some fun.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdigNpECj5V
Despite initially not liking it, Tatsumaki enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. Seeing her family just relax was nice and the view was great. Kiri was especially captivated when they reached the summit.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5UQHpZxOBb
It was so relaxing; Tatsumaki drifted off to sleep on her mother’s shoulder. Seeing this, the family smiled warmly at the innocent look Tatsumaki rarely shows.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM3OcZosUdE
Fubuki: “So we’ll buy another round or two, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvp7XLCeOqG
“Yep.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADCaIvwjldy
The whole family agreed to let Tatsumaki get some rest. So Inko paid for two more rides. When Tatsumaki finally awoke, she was too embarrassed to say thank you directly. But the blush was all they needed.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe4LjXEwqgr
Next was the Bumper cars. The family was nothing but smiles throughout the whole game; it was good to return to simpler times.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOlzS5wxvpb
Kiri was the first one out, not used to using any vehicle. Next was Izuku for similar reasons. Much to her surprise, Tatsumaki lost next, but not to who she was expecting.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuf4MlBCnwn
Inko: “Haha, don’t underestimate your mom, kids. I’ve been driving before you were all born.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZtjnNyM8l9
Fubuki: “You still need to beat me, the current champion of bumper cars.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAwN5IrXIMi
Inko: “Former champion, you mean. Here I come!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArGnFFDeWqT
It was a close match, but in the end, the mother won.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoRjodaoOhB
Inko: “Hahahaha!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN9RLcmKuPe
Fubuki: “I have to admit, Mom, you’re a good driver.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzfJlm6vrf9
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu9WBP5gG4n
Tatsumaki: “You should show those skills more often. You usually drive like a snail.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAK8vP5fuu8k
Izuku: “I don’t think me and Kiri could survive Mom doing some of those moves.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAX7hevtOsZd
Kiri: “No, no.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJz05D5T0Cd
The group shared a laugh while on the way to the food stalls. Tatsumaki got some candy apples, her favorite, while Kiri found her new favorite food.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9t5mwBaW70
Kiri: “Mmmmmm!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAX1u7mx6wMZ
Cotton Candy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbvQjguqA8n
Fubuki: “You two have a ridiculously big sweet tooth.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAejsq1urUKV
Tatsumaki: “And we have no shame. Right, Kiri?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJg9VSMu2H9
Kiri: “Nh. Love it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP4mTF6UFwK
Fubuki hasn’t completely accepted Kiri yet, but she can now admit she’s cute with a smile.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhmpt1VkopD
The rest of the group just got an assortment of normal snacks. Well, normal for Midoriya standards. To anyone else, the whole family had a sweet tooth.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEIMgafzqY6
Inko got four massive cinnamon rolls.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO1BFyFrrsl
Inko: “What? It’s a free day today; I can splurge a bit.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ou0k87vl5
Izuku got some sherbet ice cream.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzeL2Z4PnoR
Fubuki, the most normal, got a strawberry smoothie.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWL55zvC3P8
The shooting range was a surprise. Everyone did fairly well despite three of them never having held a gun. In the end though, Tatsumaki won.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xzl533Z4y
Fubuki: “You moved the shot with your powers.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsrKBOEGWsN
Tatsumaki: “You have no proof of that. I won fair and square. Now, since I won, I’m going to get some more sweets for me and Kiri.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApILZ6gX2rK
Kiri: “Yes.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr0nJqe1fmv
Tatsumaki and Kiri dashed back to the food stalls while Fubuki sighed.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsjld7TJH6q
Fubuki: “I swear they’ll bankrupt us at this point.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvcKbhtUg06
Izuku: “At least they’re having fun.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMbL0F9ZIw3
Inko: “Yeah. But… what about you, sweetie? How do you feel?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhQqNnfj9HS
Fubuki and Inko look to Izuku with some concern. He’s not as animated as he could be. But despite that, Izuku flashed them a bright smile.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgDFmq3iMPB
Izuku: “Y-Yes, I’m… glad I came. It’s fun hanging out with you all again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFtJE5LUW4U
Inko hugs her son.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsU8l8bKEpC
Inko: “I’m happy to hear it. If you ever need a break and you just miss us, please tell me. We’ll do this again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6VIaunGrT0
Izuku: “I… will. Thank you, Mom.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvPLGbsdci1
Inko: “Good. And the same applies to you, Fubuki.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0KikXfENEX
Fubuki: “Huh? Me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYEoaMSN4iO
Inko: “Yes, I don’t want you or Tatsumaki to work yourselves to the bone. So please take a break now and then. Your agency won’t explode without you. Sometimes, you’re even busier than Tatsumaki.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgurtQXWDZ5
Fubuki: “R-Really? I…. didn’t notice. I’ll try to make more time, mom, I promise.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAveAN2LuAPs
Inko: “That’s all I ask.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmYHKbrgOCb
Once Tatsumaki and Kiri were back, they ended things with the Roller Coaster. Kiri didn’t understand why her family was screaming and holding their arms up, but she did the same. It was in a monotone manner, but she’s trying.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlu06UK14Ji
It was a great time; that is, until they got off the ride.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdnvdm59GDq
Inko: “Ugh… maybe we should have eaten after the Roller Coaster.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALGk0CUd3BD
Izuku: “Are you okay?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsgch3Xl7Qg
Inko: “I think… I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ6dzD7S13
Inko rushes to the bathroom while everyone else waits for her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4GGBRZAHok
Fubuki: “I should have stopped her when she went to eat more cinnamon rolls.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAq8qUFjjlRQ
Izuku: “Maybe, but it’s nice seeing Mom let loose and have fun. I prefer this than to her worrying about us all the time.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApbVYBofMzf
Fubuki: “… You’re right.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJZHowvK3NG
Tatsumaki: “What the heck is this!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1KhblZcff3
The two espers look to their older sister, who seems to have found a new attraction.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5lWOZIvn1D
Izuku: “Kiri, can you wait for Mom?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAD2rTB3vNC9
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP22BS1TNo6
Izuku: “Thanks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcJfTgLDsjf
The duo walked up to Tatsumaki, who was near what seemed to be a haunted house.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALaOwHuCpGt
Izuku: “That’s strange. Was this always here?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzTQV2ZXR6T
Fubuki: “It is strange to have a haunted house in an amusement park.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAxJIB7tzge
Izuku: “Some people find amusement in being scared.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdwxc22W3s4
Tatsumaki: “Freaks, I say. Who wants to be scared?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAz6a1WS6UII
The trio looked at the building for a few moments before Fubuki broke the silence.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2bdP3SvzUY
Fubuki: “So Tatsu, thinking of going in?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyVCdhFcQvV
Tatsumaki: “W-What?! Of course not! I was just wondering why something like this was here.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbAryzN3VlC
Fubuki: “I don’t know, sounds like you WANT to go in, but you’re too scared to.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApCxRNB1DQd
Tatsumaki: “HUHHHH, NO WAY!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAz2K6eHtXZp
Fubuki: “No, it’s totally fine. I’m sure even other pro heroes have something they’re scared of. It’s just natural. There’s no shame in saying you’re scared of ghosts.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJ09oYzzobt
Tatsumaki: “There’s NOTHING that scares me. In fact, you know what? I’ll go in and prove you wrong. Nothing scares me; you’ll see!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7pvqocox7i
And there she goes, into the dark house of horrors. Izuku stares at Fubuki until she notices it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFnslOiOYvP
Fubuki: “What?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5cfAm62W3o
Izuku: “…That was mean.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsF474WKqqG
Fubuki: “Come on, it’s just friendly sister teasing. You have to get victories where you can. Speaking of, Izu, are you still scared of clowns?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjWgByIw5qZ
Izuku: “And would you look at the time? I have to get back to Kiri.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqcL9KIjwOy
Fubuki giggles as Izuku walks back the way he came. But as he does, he sees a familiar face.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8WMzJMLxOv
Izuku: “Tsuyu!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO8JfjEJPut
She was at one of the food stalls with two other frog-looking kids. Her siblings perhaps? Regardless, Izuku was happy to see her. So happy he was that he didn’t notice her alarm when seeing him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcreECXc0KN
Tsuyu made her way to Izuku, making sure her siblings were behind her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmR5ragW6hX
Tsuyu: “H-Hello, Midoriya. H-Here with your family too?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApjMSYSILAP
Izuku: “Yes. Are these your siblings?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAD41EqQRJRW
Tsuyu: “Yes. Satsuki, Samidare, this is Izuku Midoriya. T-The one I was telling you about. Say hi.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdn980BcGWw
They gave their greetings while making sure to stay behind Tsuyu. They feel it too, in their instincts, the things under his shadow. Their genetic memory remembers; it screams out against one in particular, The Body.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdQGUCCcHzE
Izuku: “Hello. I’m glad to see you, Tsuyu. I wasn’t awake at the time, so I wasn’t sure, but I’m happy to see you’re alrig-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArikXm07jNj
Izuku goes to touch her shoulder, a show of care, nothing more, but her in-built instinct screams out. She automatically knocks his hand away. Both of their eyes widen at what just happened.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtrTL6YmynJ
The world fades away as they look into each other’s eyes, surprise etched into both of their gazes. But more than anything, pain and sorrow are reflected in Izuku’s dimming orbs.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUtq2iGUAER
Tsuyu: “I-I’m sorry, Midoriya. I-I don’t know what came over me. I guess I’m still not feeling well after the attack. T-Those villains were really scary.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARAWUwZu9MB
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, the villains… I-I-It’s fine. I-I was being too forward. I’ll… leave.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA81fESBq2vY
Tsuyu wants to tell him that she was at fault, that he can stay and talk. That he’s still her friend. But she can’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she absentmindedly leads her siblings away to someplace safe.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyF6JsgrJZl
As for Izuku, his heart races and breaks at the memory of what he did during the attack. The monster he became.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALQJ5ARIdqT
Before he can become lost in the guilt and shame, he feels Kiri hug him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ9zO1NW1i
Kiri: “Onii…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuRfGQIWV2c
He should feel warmth and happiness from her hug. She’s trying so hard to make him feel better. But her hug only makes it worse, because she’s shivering.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt9z43kQYVP
Not from the cold, but because she wants to stop touching him. Like, being this close is uncomfortable. Like, he makes her skin crawl. Even Kiri, of all people, doesn’t want to be near him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFys5KpfaNd
She lets him go and scratches her skin.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOt0CSx7hFA
Kiri: “I’m… sorry.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxMPTaQMGBm
Izuku: “… I know.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZlgliLWsTj
The day went by quickly after that. Izuku kept up appearances, and he thinks he fooled everyone else. He refuses to ruin their good time; they are what’s important.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJFzchu8sR6
He laughed when Tatsumaki claimed there was a real ghost in the haunted house and for everyone to watch out.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAE1bF90D7Tg
He smiled when Fubuki didn’t believe it and teased Tatsu again.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFn9UKWyrZ4
He beamed when his mother was the peacemaker and managed to extend the trip for one more hour. After that, they flew home. Izuku once again struggles to use his quirk, but he gets over it for his family.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALnWBHcBNAz
It was almost nighttime when they got home.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVuHygUPiHp
Tatsumaki: “I have to admit, today was fun.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHttt0SQjeH
Fubuki: “I’m glad you got us all together, Mom.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEFpIaGfdLl
Inko: “You’re welcome. Are you going to stay?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR8mUgieh8t
Fubuki: “Sure.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y3TnrBoiK
Tatsumaki: “I don’t think I can make it home anyway.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUABPWawhBp
Inko: “Great! Kiri, you can sleep with me so Fubuki can have her room back.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC1PH7TuWWw
Kiri: “…Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvYwhdcY7kC
And so it was, the family cleaned themselves and got ready for bed. But before Tatsumaki fell into her bed, Izuku approached her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3NNcTcWeuu
Izuku: “Tatsu, before you go to bed, I have a question.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAk8jlO0DX0b
Tatsumaki: “Sure, what is it?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACtueFYJl6Y
The brother led her to the empty living room and sat down. Tatsu, sensing a serious conversation, sat down next to him and waited.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe5soQEsf4n
Izuku: “Tatsu, how does it feel to be so powerful? Are you ever… scared of it?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACg83xLLDLw
Tatsumaki: “Izu, why are you asking me this? What’s happening?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaKZJ4cECJU
Izuku: “Please, just answer me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJkIHd0WeGA
She sighs before answering.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoqB3cQC41C
Tatsumaki: “Well, to answer the first question, pretty great. It gives me nearly unlimited freedom and the ability to protect my family. Doesn’t hurt that our quirks are convenient and fun to use.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAubMIVjHJy2
She doesn’t let her brother see the burden such power gives you or the heartbreak that comes when you fail despite it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtzrdBnwSVz
All Izuku sees is his amazing and powerful big sister.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsiNoJi66xS
Tatsumaki: “As for the second question…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmrtMY7lJYt
She wants to say no, never. Who would be scared of their own power? Why would Izuku? Then she remembers that she doesn’t know how he defeated the Nomu or what happened.
111Please respect copyright.PENANArLWPgN1GdR
She wonders if there is something more to her brother’s quirk.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1QRhOZBzTk
So with that in mind, she changes her answer and lets some vulnerability show.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuIVOGV1taV
Tatsumaki: “There were only two times when I was ever scared of my power or even resentful of it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjYSsgV1dfs
Izuku: “R-Really? Why?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoZVDWPBUvZ
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t want to discuss what caused me to be resentful. As for scared, it was… when I saw how terrified others were of me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYB5Eko9T3C
Izuku: “W-What did you do?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAosWs0PHS7t
Tatsumaki: “I changed how I used my powers and was a bit more mindful of them. Over time, they became less scared of me. I still cause the most property damage, but it’s the thought that counts.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5NzZSJNTcG
The two shared a laugh at one of Tatsu’s few flaws. It died down soon after when it was time to return to the serious manner.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANA8YYPaJgI
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what’s happening to you, Izu, but I do know that our powers don’t make us monsters. It’s how and why we use them that matters. You can’t be scared of them. Because if you are, how can you improve enough to be a pro hero alongside me and Fubuki?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4UO4TjX8HI
Izuku: “Wow… I didn’t expect this from you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHKBZBuJciA
Tatsumaki: “Hey! I have my big sister moments from time to time.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt2QBomIrRr
Izuku: “Hahaha, I know. Thanks, Tatsu. I won’t disappoint you; I’ll… master my quirk.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeHpsIFq4pS
Tatsumaki: “I expect nothing less. Now.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA75plZJ3Nyy
She gets up and stretches.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5uOwzgJvEG
Tatsumaki: “I should get to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow; your big sis still needs to catch those big bad villains who hurt my precious siblings.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM6gbnxiJ0W
Izuku: “Right, good night, Tastu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiEYhjyK0M8
Tatsumaki: “Sweet dreams, Izu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP775BdLCyT
Sweet dreams… huh?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPCW2A8WVry
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVE62dOcSMs
Kiri couldn’t sleep. Yeah, the embrace of her mother was great, but it wasn’t what she needed. She wanted to be with Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJcFdqssAVZ
Once again, she failed to be there for him. She could feel his negative feelings, and it was terrible. Confused, painful, and alone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6fg1ZWqSa2
It got better earlier in the night, but it’s still there. She wishes she could eat it like normal, but something is preventing her. She must try harder for him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAa0WFvYyocb
So she untangles herself from her mom and slips out of the room. She stalks the halls until she reaches Izuku’s room. Kiri opens it slightly to see if he’s still awake. Turns out, he’s not even in the room.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzIOlskF89G
Panicking a bit, she called out telepathically.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGxYrrQDOMG
Kiri: “Izuku? Where are you?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdccJ0WVgAl
After a moment, she got a response.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2ciHJgHJPb
Izuku: “Roof.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAY8mUrzraUF
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kiri closes the door and makes her way to the roof of the apartment complex. The night sky was beautiful tonight, filled with stars.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaQVkvJd518
It was this sight that Kiri walked into and what Izuku has been staring at for a while now. He’s leaning against the railings with his head angled to the stars; Kiri soon joined him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5035ANugqb
Kiri: “Izu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAa2JFbINGjQ
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep either?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjoNRltkm
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADJjCv6RD2A
Izuku: “…I’m sorry if I… scare you. I’ll get better at using my quirk; I have to.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgOLaU4iNio
Kiri: “You don’t scare me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFtBRuWPWqC
Izuku: “Then why do you shiver when we’re together?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsqSJZHH2Gx
Should she tell him? He doesn’t know how his… outburst affected her. Would telling him just make things worse?
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5MP0TW38vb
Izuku: “You don’t have to say anything; I know.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV8gVwjUQIe
Kiri: “Know… what?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAG3ipqxCal1
Izuku: “How what I did affected you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAilyEpPJz7I
Her eyes widen.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuNTl1NjV96
Kiri: “How?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzAGImf44mY
Izuku: “…Something told me. And even if it didn’t, I could have figured it out. You’re… part of my quirk after all; sometimes I forget, but it would make sense if major changes to my quirk would affect you too. A few nights ago, I assume you got a sudden increase in power.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4QvZjY12eT
Kiri: “… Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArWWvYC1BMq
It happened not that long after the UA attack, a sudden jump in power. She felt… more complete somehow.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS0L8ic2734
Izuku: “That’s why… I understand why you don’t want to touch me. I’m… sorry, Kiri, for what I did.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfcsCvL5t2a
Kiri: “Don’t apologize; you were just trying to save me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUIKP1bBIWi
Izuku: “But I shouldn’t have done it like that or… indulged so much. Instead of ending it quickly… I… played with the Nomu. I… enjoyed making it suffer and… was planning on doing the same thing to Kacchan.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASm7oPWp3Xa
His hands tighten around the railings enough to dent it a bit.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGimzyFzESK
Izuku: “And after… a certain dream, I got a small taste of just how much stronger I can get and… how villainous it can become. If just that dip into the potential of my quirk does that… I-I’m frightened by what I’ll turn into later. I’m scared of what… might happen to you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7VEbIFEGIV
Kiri doesn’t know what to say to all of that or how to help. So she does what she can; she grabs his hand and interlocks her fingers with his. As expected, it feels… off.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALnDb7Efbpb
Izuku: “I’m alright; you don’t have to force yourself. After talking with Tatsu, I know it’s how and why I use this power that’s important. So I’ll… master it and become a hero who saves people with a smile. Not one filled with cruelty but with joy.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADqJntPLMVK
Kiri tightens her grip, fighting against that feeling. She doesn’t want to let go because this is the person she adores, the Hero Izuku. This is the boy she loves.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALgakVgSTVn
Izuku: “I’ll make sure you won’t ever have to go through what you did before again. So… until then, you don’t have to force yourself to be around me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABZ7BGdE2Oi
Kiri shakes her head.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM3J1FhDvVk
Kiri: “I want to stay. Izu, I… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXpbVYf3MyX
That familiar feeling returns, strong enough to smother the itchiness. This time, she follows through.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXqy2ZpH7Xi
She turns Izuku’s face towards her and leans in close. But she doesn’t go all the way, instead she just places a simple kiss on his cheek.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPMKxoDDvXp
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA34Ptw9YlIn
Kiri: “You’re not alone; we’ll both improve and become heroes together. I won’t leave your side again, Izu.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaLQ9QypFfw
She says that, but she’s still shivering. However, Kiri won’t untangle her hand from his. Instead, she’ll prove her words through action. It’s time for both of them to finally get some real rest.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5kp5kp8tva
Kiri: “Come.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJjkUpeH8Gh
She leads Izuku back inside and eventually to his bedroom. After closing the door, the two get in bed. Izuku is still worried about whether Kiri will suddenly leave like the first time.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADgJ7Irf5mM
But she doesn’t; she hugs his chest and buries her face in his neck.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1xUSS7jNpe
The feeling is horrible.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3LukbkNE2X
Like several insects crawling and biting her skin. Her body is shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVBQy4yjmtS
Izuku: “Kiri, stop. Go back to Mom’s room.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA29dQhWTW2e
Kiri: “N-No.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsVMVVZVrsR
She won’t back down from this. She hangs on for dear life as the sensation gets worse.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnObP22TzcG
Clearly, this is not normal. She knows she’s not scared of Izuku and wouldn’t recoil at his touch. So there must be something foreign doing this, something within him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANARlTscDgOGj
Well, all the more reason to fight on. And fight on she does; no matter how terrible it feels, she doesn’t let go. In fact, she holds on tighter and starts rubbing his back.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyybE4Zjx1s
Kiri: “I-It will be okay. It will be okay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbAWTnI18YS
Izuku: “Kiri…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN5KannVXHS
And like a storm, eventually, it passes. As if she passed some threshold or test, the sensation stopped.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZvkFCrDFPD
The insects disappear, and the feeling is replaced with the warmth they both missed. Kiri stops shaking and settles comfortably into Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAl3qQoCe4jM
He senses this and sighs with relief.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9v7RxZR8iT
Kiri: “See? I told you, I won’t leave your side again.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA45IZN0TUjR
Izuku closes his eyes and smiles. He really has amazing sisters. He embraces her tightly, conveying all the gratitude he could.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYVzF1LNZSW
Izuku: “Kiri, thank you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwu4MxIinwx
She smiles as the two finally get some restful sleep.

Fanfic Adapted: Tatsumaki: Tornado of Trouble by Whackybiscuit [2022]
111Please respect copyright.PENANAi9a4wOvsXN
(WARNING: it’s 18+. This is where Arashi comes from. Their history is similar to Chapter 1. But their current relationship is more original.)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP7hOS4QYWJ
A/N: Damn, this was way bigger than I thought. It was fun though, so I hope you enjoyed it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzfe66z2o8c
Now, continuing what I said in the last author note. I think another problem that awaits me in the future is the Izuku x Momo ship.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA63CzL2R6Jc
Can you believe I’m starting to fall out of love with this ship? I swear it’s not just because of Kiri. It just feels off now. I also may have crippled it by not giving her a moment during the UA attack.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnRSVlLeQYN
She is supposed to get One For All, but to do that, Izuku needs to see how great she is and that she has the physical strength to handle it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJMlwO5uiHz
If she is not able to get One For All, I will lose darn near all interest in this ship.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdPbtzRjTIJ
I can still salvage this; I just don’t know how yet. I’m going to read other Izuku x Momo fanfics to see if it can get a second wind in my mind.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMI8IsIh4dY
If not, I may have to go all the way with Izuku x Kiri. My muse clearly loves the pair, and Kiri clearly loves Izuku. The obstacle is getting Izuku to say yes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMUXeSDeXnS
On a happier note, I hope you got the reference I placed in this chapter. With it, I have set up the possibility for Saitama to appear.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKekZcek0Jx
But if I do include him, it will be during his earlier years, and he’ll stay mostly in the background. That means no Saitama ship, not enough time to set it up.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJZnuUQRiXG
But I could have it in the background, off-screen, if it’s Fubuki. In this context, I think it can work. But I would prefer him to stay single since that’s more in line with his character, IMO.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsHGQPs7aaj
Regardless, Saitama won’t be a big part of the story overall. Can still do cool stuff or even participate in major events later, but just not every arc. And since this is not him at his peak, he will be vulnerable to some things.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADOLHoz5JPZ
For example, Tomura can kill him and he has no resistance to mental attacks.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmWdkm2dEGg
For those that don’t want Saitama in this story at all, comment now or forever hold your peace.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfoSSN37mqm
Well, that’s all I want to talk about. Till next time.
